difference between smoke testing and functional testing

What is the difference between smoke testing and functional testing?

1. Smoke testing commonly involves performing functional testing (but may include non-functional testing such as installation testing for example).

2. Fewer test cases are executed in smoke testing than in detailed functional testing. Consequently, a smoke test lasts shorter than a detailed functional test.

3. The focus of a smoke test is broad and shallow. A detailed functional test focuses each test area in depth.

4. In order to find any major or obvious defects quickly, it is common to execute a smoke test more times than a detailed functional test.

5. A detailed functional test follows a successful smoke test.
